Columbia Women's Newton Ridge Plus Waterproof Hiking Boots

I ordered these hikers from Columbia after about 3 weeks of scouring Amazon for the right pair. I have always been very hesitant to order any kind of footwear online (I'm a see it, try it on in person first kinda shopper when it comes to clothing & footwear) as I have wider feet and seem to never have luck finding footwear that fits as it should. I've liked Columbia's products for a long time, but could never seem to get my wider feet into their footwear. However, after finding these in a brick & mortar store & falling in intense like with these hikers, I came back to Amazon to find them in an 11 WIDE (!) at super great price far less than in the retail store. With some hesitancy I decided to order these hikers & give it a try. The free return if they didn't fit tipped the scales. They arrived on time as promised and HUZZAH! actually fit my wide feet! Not only did they fit my wide feet, I experienced zero crunching of my toes (the toebox is *actually WIDE* like it should be on a wide shoe), the arch is in the right place, and I can even wear a medium to thick crew sock without feeling squeezed and still have room for my toes to move around. I *really* appreciate that the tongue of this hiker is *not* sewn all the way up to practically the top, which allows for my foot to really easily slide into this hiker without having to wrestle it on. These hikers lace up really nicely and the laces stay tied because they are rounded and not flat. In terms of weight these hikers are not at all heavy like some others I have tried so my legs and feet don't get tired. Though I haven't been in too many situations where there is a ton of water or wintry slush, so far these hikers have performed as waterproofed hikers should in this early winter season. I wore these hikers right out the box the first day for almost the whole day & didn't feel the need to "break them in" as I ahve had to do with other hiker boots. The boots are not heavily insulated, but even with a medium weight crew sock on my feet stay pretty warm but don't overheat even when I've worn them practically all day long. Speaking of crew socks, you'll want to opt in for them because I found that without them the fabric on the inside of the boot can be a little harsh on your ankle. That said, if you are on a long hike with *any* hiker boot this should be your standard dress code anyhow. Overall, really love these hikers. Delightfully surprised by them & would highly recommend. Overall, these hikers were a great find, a nice surprise in fit There could be some improvements made on arch support. While this has so far not been uncomfortable for me at all, if you have higher arches you might need an arch support insert depending on your comfort level. These hikers are not super cushy inside with any kind of memory foam but, again, even having worn them practically all day long my feet really weren't achy at all,

UPDATE: These were awesome for my hike! We had to go through puddles and even a stream during this hike and the water just rolled right off of these boots. I didn’t feel a thing, not even a temperature change. It was so cool. These boots gripped like a champ and it’s a good thing I had them because we did a fair amount of climbing too, which I wasn’t anticipating beforehand. Excellent boots! These boots look and fit great! I normally wear a size 10, so I ordered that size, but they felt tight around my toes/top of my foot, so I returned and sized up to 10.5 and they are perfect! Very comfortable and I’m excited to use them for my first hike coming up. This size happened to be on sale for $25 too so I really lucked out. Might buy another pair. They seem to be great quality and the leather looks really nice. Purple on the bottom was a nice surprise too. I will update after the hike about durability and grip.

I absolutely love these boots. I wear them to do trail/park work (cutting up downed trees, trimming trails, etc). They are comfortable right out of the box and have great ankle and arch support which I desperately need. True to size - worn with a medium weight boot sock. They are easy to get on too. The waterproof membrane maintains a little heat inside the boot, but it's not unbearable - only noticeable. I need waterproof boots for my working conditions and these are perfect for my needs. Can't beat the price.

Bought as a gift and they are now that person's favorite shoes. They wear them most of the time now, and say they are very comfortable, even for long periods of wear. They took them on a long hiking and camping trip and were very pleased with their performance. Good ankle support, too. They still look great after that trip, and are worn almost daily.

I purchased these hiking boots for a trip to the PNW. Typically, I am more of a Merrell hiking shoe kind of gal, but I decided to give these a whirl. They were on sale (I think $60-$70) and I feel that price is right on for the quality and fit. They took me from hiking at Mt. Rainier National Park, to Oregon's coastal beaches to hiking in the Redwoods. For comfort I would give them a 9/10. They fit true to size and give great ankle support. For durability/quality, that remains to be seen - but I'll go ahead and give them a 6/10, just based on the condition that they are after one trip. On my trip I did do a fair amount of rough, strenuous hiking, but usually I can get my hiking shoes to last several seasons. I think this pair might last one more hiking trip before they need to be retired. There are some chunks of rubber that have come out of the bottoms already and I can see where the rubber is starting to separate from the shoe in a couple spots. Overall, they are certainly comfortable, and nice hiking boots, but I don't think the quality is that of other brands (such as Merrell), so I won't get as much use out of them. It's probably best to wait until they're on sale to purchase.

I was initially pretty nervous ordering these since there were many reviews about shoe size. These are my first pair of hiking boots and thought they were a pretty great price which is what drew me to them. I’m one of the unfortunate people that depending on the shoe brand and shoe itself depends on my shoe size. It can be anywhere from size 5-6.5 and sometimes even 7 in some cases. I would say I probably purchase more in the 6-6.5 range. That said, I was originally going to purchase these in 7 since I assumed I should not only take into account the shoe size they suggest but also socks and possible foot swelling while hiking. I know my size in EU and it’s always been on the dot as far being correct. I ended up then purchasing these in the EU size, which is 36 or 5 in US. When I received them, I put on the socks I plan on wearing while hiking and slipped them on. I first just wore them while sitting on the couch. They felt tight and my feet felt cramped and painful. I thought it was just because they were a new pair of shoes. For reference, socks I plan on wearing are similar to those hanes white socks that go above the ankle. I took them off for a bit after that and made them a little looser and put them back on to walk my dog on our running trail in my apartment complex. I felt my big toes were digging into the top of the shoe. They were uncomfortable and my feet still felt cramped. My smaller toes were going numb towards the end of the walk, which lasted around 15 mins. I ended up returning the size 5 or EU 36 . I reordered them a half size bigger, so 5.5 or 36.5. I feel this is more comfortable. My toes don’t feel like they’re digging into the top of the shoe. And I can walk around in them. They’re a little uncomfortable, but this feels more like uncomfortable since they’re brand new shoes versus how I felt earlier. Grip on the bottom of the shoe feels solid while walking on dirt/forest floor and over tree roots. The shoe color is true to picture example they’ve given. They seem light weight and the back of the shoe where the ankle is doesn’t feel uncomfortable. My suggestion would be to purchase 1/2 size or even 1 size up from your shoe size to take into account socks and everything. I don’t have any other hiking shoe to compare these too. Would I purchase these again? As of right now, I absolutely would. Next time I plan on purchasing size 6 or EU 37 though.

Love the waterproof feature and comfort that is equally matched. Purchased for such a bargain too! Wore several times and has held up to all of the scenarios I’ve put the boots through!

I got these boots for a Yosemite trip and did NOT have a chance to break them in beforehand; we hiked ALL over the park and these boots were incredible!! They were comfortable, cushioned, DRY, and slip resistant. I never once lost my footing or slipped on any of the granite trails...including the very wet Yosemite Falls and Mist Trails. Highly HIGHLY recommend these boots. Side note, they are very cute as well :)

Da ich beruflich bei jedem Wetter im Freien unterwegs bin, bin ich auf wasserfestes Schuhwerk angewiesen. Laut Beschreibung sollten es diese Schuhe sein, aber sie sind es nicht. Schade.

I had to return these boots due to size was too small.

Fantastische afhandeling algemeen nu en zowel als in het verleden.

Ordered 5.5 but had to return for a size 6, normally a 5, run a bit small, to get a thicker sock on. Feel very comfy, leather soft, good sole, nice design and laces. Not done a hike yet, Scotland awaits...
